With assistance from USDA Forest Service, Jones fills her story with accurate plant life as well as lots of terms for different dog colorings and patterns, all of which she includes in a glossary at the end of the book.</p><p><em>Dachshunds in Costumes</em> is a creative story that gives a lighthearted explanation for how the different breeds of dogs came to be, and as Jones' previous books, we see the gift of self-acceptance. Also present is a meter that has a lilting and soothing quality. The meter pairs well with the wonderful illustration work from Scott Ward that has a unique and uniform shading style that readers of all ages will admire. Kizzie Jones' newest addition is perfect for the curious and inquisitive child who will surely spend hours curled up studying all that <em>A Tall Tale About Dachshunds in Costumes: How MORE Dogs Came to Be</em> has to offer."</p><p>--<strong>Chanticleer Reviews</strong> 2019</p><p> </p><p>"This is a Tall Tale that keeps on giving! ... This whimsical by-the-sea story also offers three delightfully illustrated glossaries ... plus annotated drawings of Pacific Northwest seaside vegetation which play a major role in 'the costumes' chosen by each creative Dachshund."</p><p>--<strong>Sharon Fay Koch</strong>, writer; retired Board Certified Hospice Chaplain and former <em>L.A. Times</em> staff writer</p><p> </p><p>"Like all good stories, <em>A Tall Tale About Dachshunds in Costumes</em> is layered to work on multiple levels.

Kudos to Kizzie Jones for this refreshing approach, and a captivating addition to her lovely Tall Tales series."</p><p>--<strong>Avril van der Merwe</strong>, author, <em>How Cheetah Got His Tears</em>, <em>Once Upon a Rhinoceros</em>, and<br /> <em>I Don't Want to Be a Hyena</em></p><br>
